I would be grateful if someone could advise me how we should be handling fixed term contract end dates, in terms of giving notice/sending written confirmation prior to the end date to inform the individual that their contract is being terminated on the agreed date.

I am sure I read somewhere that written confirmation needs to be sent 4 weeks prior to the end date, but I cant find any info and guidance on what should be included in the letter. Do we need to give reason for the “termination” and offer an appeals process?

If the end of a fixed term contract is regarded as a termination, should we be following the 3-step process?

Any advice or guidance you can offer is much appreciated.
